The ReacTable














The ReacTable is a new age synthesiser, the difference between the ReacTable and common synthesiser is that it works using a tangible touch screen user interface, instead of the common keyboard.

Sound is created on the ReacTable by moving pucks of different shapes and colours, known as tangiables around the translucent tabletop interface. Sound can be made and manipulated on this table by adding, removing and rotation of the tangibles and touch.

Maybe the most popular feature when referring to the ReacTable is the visual element. The tabletop is well known for its aluminous blue animated tabletop. The ReacTable’s specially designed translucent screen allows an animated projection of the musical change to show upon the glass.

This exciting instrument is fun to play and interesting to watch and holds the audience in owe and fascination over its most modern take of electronic music.

A person or group of people and create electronic musical sound collaboratively around this table and the possibilities of tweaking and adapting the musical ideas are endless.

I aim to construct my very own version of the ReacTable.

This blog will document my journey though the exciting process, with pictures, audio and video references. Please feel free to follow my adventure.
